UPDATE - First MicroSCROG CF Grow Started - Day8

[GRB.4.Life]

This is my first indoor micro grow. I hope im doing well. The plant looks like its missing something. And its quite small for day 8. I might need to water it more, so ill try that and see what happens. I also dont have much for ventilation, i know, but i open the box like 2-3 times a day for about 10-15 minutes. Because of stealth reasons i cant have any open ventilation so all i can do is hope for the best!

I plan on SCROGin it after i top it. I will be SCROGGin with chickenwire hopefully. I plan to top it when it gets about to the top of the blue tub..

Anyways, any opinions, good or bad, are welcome. Any advice or ideas on anything about how to better my yield or plant health is more than appreciated..Thanks, PEACE! Stay cool..

PS- Its on Day 8 from when it came up out of the soil..Not since germination.

Heres what i did after i decided the plant wasnt doing well enough. I added a cool white Compact Flouro pumpin out 1700lumens. Along with the warm white Compact i already had, which pumped out 2700lumens. Thats a total of 68watts of CF light on one plant. Should be enough for a nice SCROG. Im hoping that doin this will allow it a more nutritious light source and it will grow slightly faster and a bit more healthy...

I also put a small integrated venting system in. I cut vent slits behind the fan so its constantly suckin in the cool air in my closet. Then i cut vent slits on the oposite side in its blowing path against the wall to vent out the warm used air.

Im taking a big risk moving the box into my closet simply because its not as stealth. But its safer in terms of the plants health, heat and the fire hazard it used to be...lol.

I also got these small fertilizing sticks from Miracle Grow. The NPK i believe its called is 6-12-6. The pack comes with 24 sticks that feed continueously for 60 days. Think this would be a good idea to add it? Ive never used fertilizers or extra nutes before..It says on the package that its "For All Flowering & Foliage House Plants"...

Thanks to everyone who replies and your help is greatly appreciated!

Cya.

No the biggest and most common mistake is over watering water like once every 2-3 days or when soil is dry 1 inch below the surface

As long as you open the door to the room the plant is in once a day it will have enough air exchange especially when its that small. What kind of light are you using looks like a regular compact house fluoro light i have one in my room lamp. Day eight looks kinda weak make sure the light isnt to close depending on how hot it gets. Final piece of advice make sure you have holes in the bottem of the tub for drainage or else your roots will rot with mold.
